Replace Default Exile Billboard Pictures?

[Redfutz 0]

Hello I am looking to simply swap pictures for the default trader billboards on Exile Altis at the terminal trader. I can't seem to find the file path for the images to replace.

This is what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for the help! <3

the only way you achieve this to replace all signs in the server with new images is to edit the config.bin of the @exile\addons\exile_client\config.bin

then you would have to resign the pbo file, and your players would have to download that new file you would have to place the new bikey in your servers keys folder.

[tinboye 219]

you can add your own billboards to the server though, by using something like

private _billboard = [
["Exile_Sign_RussianRoulette", [8062.22, 9266.62, 470.118], [0.94989, -0.312584, 0], [0, 0, 1], false]
];

{
    private _vehicle = (_x select 0) createVehicle (_x select 1);
    _vehicle allowDamage false;
    _vehicle setPosWorld (_x select 1);
    _vehicle setVectorDirAndUp [_x select 2, _x select 3];
    _vehicle enableSimulationGlobal (_x select 4);
    _vehicle setVariable ["ExileIsLocked", -1, true];
   
    if (_vehicle isKindOf "Exile_Sign_RussianRoulette") then
    {
        _vehicle SetObjectTextureGlobal [0,"images\01.paa"];
    };
}
forEach _billboard;

 

the parts in the config.bin is

Use a custom billboards script. Create JPG images that are 1024x512 with the images you want and place them in your mission pbo. Next, go into the editor and place the signs that are the same size as the trader signs, classname "SignAd_Sponsor_F". Open your initserver.sqf file and delete whatever signs you want to replace. Export the code generated by placing the signs in the editor (be sure to use the Exile Eden plugin). Replace those lines you deleted.

At the bottom of initplayerlocal.sqf, place this line:

[] ExecVM "signs\billboards.sqf";

Create a folder in your mission pbo called "signs" and put this billboards.sqf file:

/*
	File: billboards.sqf
	Author: Trill
	Contact: 
	
	Description: Custom Buildings
*/

diag_log format['Custom %1 - Starting billboards.sqf',time];

_pos = [5376.17, 4830.06, 0];
_object = createVehicle ["SignAd_Sponsor_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDir 115.697;
_object setPosATL _pos;
_object setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "zedtrading.jpg"];
_object allowDamage false;

_pos = [5430.39, 4822.72, 0];
_object = createVehicle ["SignAd_Sponsor_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDir 291.021;
_object setPosATL _pos;
_object setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "zedtrading.jpg"];
_object allowDamage false;

Create as many entries are you need for each sign, using the coordinates and direction from the exported code. Here's what one looks like:

_pos = [5376.17, 4830.06, 0];
_object = createVehicle ["SignAd_Sponsor_F", _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_object setDir 115.697;
_object setPosATL _pos;
_object setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "zedtrading.jpg"];
_object allowDamage false;

Using that format could you explain what each line represents to this line

["SignAd_Sponsor_F",[14633,16811.2,18.035],[[0.711744,0.702439,0],[0,0,1]],[true,false]]

Because this is the output of M3Editor Eden edition.

 

Thanks....

I am looking at how to do the same, no joy yet

Trying to combine this way of doing it and the first one posted

Also I found out that if you do exactly as stated in this mod, as of 1.02 exile, each item spawns every time someone else logs into server. Which I guess doesn't do much to a signpost, but when you use it to do items like monitors, that have screens that you can put an image on, they all start being bounced around due to spawning in same location.

So I moved the whole function to initServer.cpp file

That's happening because you're running the script from initPlayerLocal. All scenery needs to added via initServer.

Yup that's what I kinda figured but it does say add ....

 

At the bottom of initplayerlocal.sqf, place this line:

[] ExecVM "signs\billboards.sqf";
